Here’s how the fitness world entered my life…
Growing up my parents always kept me active. I was a complete tom boy. I would always tell my dad, hey if the boys can do it then so can I… if not better! At the age of 3 I learned to downhill ski and water ski by the time I was 6. My dad taught me how to dribble a basketball at 8 and by the age of 12 I was playing any sport that I could sign up for. In high school I lettered in 3 varsity sports, talk about busy! I owe a lot of that to my parents especially my dad. It was my dad who has always been an example of discipline and perseverance to follow regarding sports.

While earning my degrees in Marketing and in Graphic Design I worked as an aerobic instructor and was a volunteer personal traininer & mentor for the local middle school students in Lansing holding conditioning classes at night at the Michigan Athletic Club. It wasn’t until after attending Michigan State University I realized that I could make a living doing what I love! Training!

I obtained the necessary certifications needed (A.C.E, ISSA, and NASM) to excel in the fitness industry and have owned my own personal training and preseason conditioning coach company since 1990.

During my downtime when I am not training, I enjoy spending time with my husband Shawn, our labrador puppy Hailey and the newest addition to our family our precious new baby girl Caitlin Olivia whom I gave birth to on November 15, 2007! Caitlin was 7 lbs and 8 oz and 21 inches long!
